Two years ago, my daughter had major jaw surgery conducted by Dr. Movahed. This surgery was over 6…read morehours long! Prior to the surgery my daughter had trouble breathing, slept with her mouth open and had an extremely weak chin. The surgery was miraculous! Post surgery, my daughter has no breathing issues, can sleep with her mouth closed and now has a beautiful profile with a chin perfectly proportioned to her face. In fact, her whole face seemed to properly align itself. She's a beautiful young woman. Most amazing was the post op recovery. She experienced very little pain! In fact, we only used about half the prescribed pain pills. Dr. Movahed was a stickler about the dos and don'ts of recovery - something extremely necessary with teenagers. I had to constantly remind my daughter that she just had major surgery and should take it easy with chewing hard foods. That's how remarkable this surgery was. The challenges of the surgery were traveling to St Louis and dealing with the insurance company. Dr. Movahed's staff was very helpful on both accounts. Jaw surgery is a major operation, and you want the best. In my opinion, Dr. Movahed proved to be the best with my daughter's life-changing operation.

When they say you have to be mentally prepared for jaw surgery, they MEAN IT!…read more   I was terrified to have jaw surgery! So terrified that that I put it off for over 20 years. After needing braces for the third time, I was introduced to Dr. Movahed. I was extremely hesitant to meet with him, and I only agreed to the consultation to appease my orthodontist. To my surprise, I agreed to meet a Dr. who completely change my mind about surgery. From my first visit, until now (9 months post-op), Dr. Movahed and his staff have been EXCEPTIONAL. The entire process was very smooth and I always felt like they truly took the time to get to know me and my needs, which put me at ease during the entire process.   Following my procedure, Dr. Movahed and his nurse practitioner were always a call or text away. I never felt confused about the process nor did I feel neglected in my care or communication regarding the procedure and recovery.   I felt like it was very critical to follow ALL of the "rules" after surgery. I was very intentional about following the instructions, and my recovery went very smoothly. Some days were mentally rough, due to the limited diet you have to follow; however, with Dr. Movahed and my personal support system/family it was doable. Overall, I am beyond grateful that I went through with the procedure. I went into the procedure expecting minor changes to my profile, but the results are far better than anyone anticipated (for the better)! Dr. Movahed is truly more than just a doctor, he is an artist! One that takes pride in his work and is just as invested in each and every patient as they are in themselves.   If you are considering surgery (or highly against it like I was ) I recommend scheduling a consultation with Dr. Movahed and giving him a chance to walk you through the experience as he did with me.

I have nothing but great things to say about Dr. Morris and his team. I've gone through wisdom…read moretooth removal, double jaw surgery, and hardware removal with him in the last couple of years and couldn't have picked a better surgeon. I put off getting my wisdom teeth removed for nearly a decade because every surgeon I saw told me I would be left with permanent nerve damage based on the positioning of my teeth. Dr. Morris got my wisdom teeth out with no lasting impact. I had a terrible experience with another surgeon preparing me for major orthognathic surgery (double jaw surgery). Dr. Morris took over and made sure I was informed every step of the way. He stayed with me through my recovery, often accommodating last minute appointments on a weekly basis. He even showed up to the hospital to check on me on a weekend when I was readmitted after my surgery (at no fault of his own- I'm immune compromised and had some persistent infection issues). The whole process was easy to navigate, including appointments, dealing with insurance, etc.. His team is awesome, and they always made me feel at home in the office. I truly felt like everyone there was celebrating my progress each week I came in during my recovery. I see some of these other reviews complaining about his bedside manner. If you want someone to coddle you and sugarcoat things, he's probably not your guy. If you want someone to actually support you, show you genuine respect, give you real medical advice, and deliver perfect surgical outcomes, you've found the right place. The medical procedures he did for me have changed my life, and I'm so glad I trusted him. Dr. Morris is the best of the best.

When it was finally my turn to see the doctor, he wasn't friendly, never smiled and just acted like I was almost wasting his time. The whole visit with him lasted about 5 minutes.

I had surgery on 4 wisdom teeth cavitation sites with Dr. Moreland in April 2014. Unfortunately…read morethe whole left side of my face became infected - jawbone, sinuses, ears, and I was starting to lose my vision on the left side. I've spent about $15k trying to recover from the cavitation disaster at Dr. Moreland's office. I am so thankful that I am still alive, and want to share what I've learned so hopefully no one else makes the same mistakes I did. Pros: -Scheduling and billing are easy and well organized at this office. Cons: - This office does not use ozone. Never, ever have dental surgery without ozone!!! You are just asking for a nasty infection. - The helper forced my jaw open when I was numb and I heard a 'pop.' Dr. Moreland said 'Don't force it' but it was already too late. I had nasty Trismus and jaw pain. Trismus is very difficult to get rid of. - Dr. Moreland drains people's sinuses through their mouths. I've talked to two ENT doctors and one oral surgeon since my disaster with Dr. Moreland, and all of them agree that draining the sinuses through the mouth is a very bad idea. Bacteria, fungus, and mold in the mouth can then make their way to the sinuses. If the hole he makes doesn't heal, you will have to put a metal plate in the roof of your mouth to avoid chronic sinus problems. Thank God I didn't let him do this to me! - After surgery, when things weren't going well, I called Dr. Moreland's office every day. His assistants basically always said the same thing - this is normal and don't be a wimp. Moreland himself wouldn't talk to me until my sinuses ruptured and I demanded to talk to him. I asked if I could come back and he could open my infected side up again. He refused and told me to find someone locally to work with. - Dr. Moreland used a DRILL to drill up into my sinuses. Another oral surgeon later told me that you should never, ever use a drill in the sinus area. It felt like he was using a jackhammer, and I ended up with severe head trauma. I spent thousands at the oseopath and chiropractor trying to unravel all of the head trauma, headaches, and pain. Tips: - Cavitation surgery might be able to be prevented with ozone injections. Try those first!! In hindsight, I had 2 dentists, 1 MD and 1 oral surgeon all tell me that I probably didn't need the uppers done, they could've likely been resolved with ozone injections alone. - Do not do oral surgery with anyone who does not use ozone to help prevent infection. - Ask in advance if they force your mouth open during surgery. - If you do have cavitation surgery, find someone who will do ozone injections into each site after surgery. Reference [1] is a case from Dr. Moreland where even after surgery, there are still multiple cavitations. - Never let anyone drain your sinuses through your mouth. - Never let anyone drill into your sinuses. Period. - Try nasal ozone for sinus infections & ear infections - amazing! - Don't forget to support your immune system after dental procedures.
